When Mia and Frank walked through the doors of Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic, they had already left behind everything they knew to flee to the United States. Civil war had broken out in their home country, and they were caught in the crossfire between the government and the rebels. Facing persecution, Frank was forced to abandon his career as college professor and successful athlete. He and Mia uprooted their family to find safety. Seven years ago, The Legal Clinic filed their application for legal asylum. This year, we finally received news of its approval. Mia, Frank, and their two children now have great peace and joy, knowing they can establish permanency here in their new home. - IDENTIFYING INFORMATION WAS REMOVED -

I am thinking of a particular client who was an immigrant, and was staying with some people from her country, but experienced abuse at their household. She came to our shelter to stay, and with the help of Rapid Rehousing funding, we got her into her own place. Our staff worked for 4 months with her to get her connected to legal services she needed to apply for a work permit. The months keep going by, her time with housing support is getting short, and her application hasn't yet been processed because of the amount of time and legwork that went into finding someone with the skills to assist her. Because she can't work, she is piecing together food from food banks and agencies to meet her basic needs. She had a professional job in her country, so with appropriate supports, she could support herself and be a contributing taxpayer, and not have to face hunger & homelessness. - IDENTIFYING INFORMATION WAS REMOVED -
